Increase the red pepper flakes to 1 teaspoon or add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the marinade for an extra kick.

Substitute the lemon juice with an equal amount of fresh lime juice for a slightly different, tangy flavor profile.

These skewers are versatile. They pair well with rice pilaf, quinoa salad, a simple green salad with vinaigrette, grilled asparagus, or crusty bread to soak up any juices.
Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm them in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Be careful not to overcook them.
